M'PHERSOX COXVIXCEDOF T3TKIT1I OF CHARGES. Previous Accusations of Mr. Ball In, 1Tb Says, Were Not Borne Out Vpon Investigation. "I have read with considerable inter est the statement of the Port of Port land Commission in this morning's Ore gonlan. which atatement is both ex haustive and thorough In replying to the various charges of malfeasance, said W. O. MePherson yesterday. "The entire statement bears the im print of exact truth and completely exonerates them of anvthlng except a desire to do the very best things they eould for the betterment of the Port and Its maintenance. I differ with them as to the necessity for the Broad way bridge, but I do not believe, after reading their statement, that any mem ber of the Port of Portland Commission ever profited a dollar, directly or Indi rectly, by reason of membership in that body. "As for the accusstions of Mr. Bal lln. they are too puerile for considera tion. I have myself a very distinct re- . .t.. fin. whn Mr. Rail In iiicmuiKuv v. - . came to me during my chairmanship or the brings committee oi ... i- .. . t Rnarii with a huge aggregation of graft and collusion charges against some of the bidders on the Grand avenue Sullivan's Gulch bridge, as well as a pack of Inuendoes against the engineer assisting tha City Engineer In preparing pians ir brldre. ". w at once began an investigation and failed to find a single- thing to prove Mr. Ballln's charges: nor did Mr. Ballln when pressed to do so, come forth "openly and make the charges himself. ... 'I was assured emphatically oy those who said they were in a position . . , .1.- ... 1 mtnli,n of the Commission had bought property on the East Biae or tne river o w on the street leading to the new O. R. V N. steel bridge, and for that reason opposed the Broadway bridge. I have Investigated thoroughly, and find not a scintilla of evidence proving this claim. I have also the word of one member of the Commission who was i i . . Ahi.t nt this charsre inn M&ib..ui. j . - that tie has not purchased and has no Interest in any property m borhood."

Ralph Dunlway, who has been serving as the attorney for Frank Kiernan In Kiernan's long fight against the Broad way bridge, waa accused yesterday by Prank W. Camp, who is here to rep resent the purchasers of the second is sue of bonds for the bridge, of using a questionable method in trying to. dis courage Mr. Camp from accepting the bonds. Mr. Camp's complaint against Mr. Dunlway was made in the presence of J. C. Alnsworth and J. E. Werleln, City Treasurer. According to Mr. Camp, Mr. Dunlway called on him and represented that the City Treasurer had never really received the money for the first issue of the bonds, but was contending falsely that the money had been paid him by the Ladd & Til ton Bank, the misrepresentation being to encourage buyers for the next issue of the bonds. Mr. Camp said he had discouraged Mr. Dunlway by telling him that he would take the City Treasurer's word in prefer ence to Mr. Dunlway"s. Mr. Camp -gave this account In the office of President Alnsworth in the United States National Bank. Indignant at the reflection that Mr. Duniway waa said to have cast on his veracity, Mr. Werleln went directly to Mayor Simon and asked him if something could be done to prevent Mr. Duniway from spreading such false reports. It was deemed by the Mayor that as long as Mr. Duniway's alleged statements could easily be proved false there was but lit tle use in paying any attention to them. The abstract of the $500,000 worth of bonds that Mr. Camp is here to receive was completed yesterday, and will be forwarded at once to attorneys of the buyers. As soon as the attorneys havs passed upon" the abstract, which will be in about two weeks, the bonds will be delivered. As the purchasers are losing $55.50 a day interest on the bonds until they are delivered, it la believed that every effort will be made to hasten this delivery. Ralph Modjeski. the engineer who will direct the construction of the Broadway bridge, will arrive here from Chicago about November 18. and immediately thereafter arrangements will be made to advertise for contracts for the work.

PROMISE IS RECALLED IIOME RCLE FORCES URGED TO PROMPT ACTION. No Further Legislation or Delay Needed to Clean Up City Dives, Says D. A. Pattullo. D. A. Pattullo, president of the Port land Municipal Association, In a state ment issued yesterday expresses the opinion that the Greater Oregon Home Rule Association should at once pro ceed to carry lte model license ante election promises Into effect. Mr. Pattullo says: "In this morning's issue of The Ore gonian Mr. McAllister, general man ager of the Home Rule Association, renews the ante-election promises of the liquor Interests that their business will be properly regulated, but with the qualification that the people must as sist, and that they must be patient, as It will take time to put through neces sary legislation. "Let it be said emphatically that there is no necessity for a moment's de lay, nor any additional legislation. The liquor business is at this moment in a position to command the situation and make of Portland the model city which it says it desires. No conven tion of Mayors is needed, no new legis lation, no change whatever In the ma chinery of government. Let Mr. Mc Allister and the interests which he represents notify the Mayor of Portland and the liquor license committee of their desire to clean up the town, and we confidently believe that it will be done to & remarkable degree within a week. The promise of improvement dependent on future conventions and legislation is one which a long-suffering public will be slow to accept. We have waited long enough. Now let us have action, and that promptly. "Why not begin at once by enforc ing existing laws against such places Jaa the Quelle, Fritz's and many others where violations of clty ordinances and state yJaws have been notorious? The recent investigations by the United States grand Jury as to the white slave trade will furnish further material for immediate action in the way of abating a state of affairs which is a disgrace to the city."
